What is honestly the best alternative to uni?

Hi, I've started uni about a month ago and I'm not liking it. However, I've always been told that uni is the way to go if you want success bla bla.. so I was wondering, with the varying different apprenticeships available, which are actually comparable to a degree, if any? I've finished college with a btec in IT at D* D* D, but I'm more so interested in aerospace engineering apprenticeships than anything else. Are there any particular apprenticeship schemes (not just aerospace engineering) which are genuinely good schemes that lead onto something upon completion?
Thank you
